Meghan Murphy, the founder of Feminist Current and a journalist who has written for New Statesman, Vice News, CBC News, and the Globe and Mail, was permanently suspended from Twitter last week after the social network implemented a ban on misgendering transgender people.
The posts which reportedly led to Murphys ban were, Women arent men, and How are transwomen not men? What is the difference between a man and a transwoman?
After Twitter made her delete the posts, Murphy made another post declaring, This is f***ing bullshit, @twitter. Im not allowed to say that men arent women or ask questions about the notion of transgenderism at all anymore? That a multi-billion dollar company is censoring basic facts and silencing people who ask questions about this dogma is insane.
Murphy was then permanently suspended.

That aspect of it, the Leftist “Blue-on-Blue” does satisfy me.
Womens figure skating will be a ratings bonanza then.
The Soviet style Communist Totalitarian mindset definitely has an Orwellian twist to it.
In Orwell’s “1984” it was crucial that you mentally embrace their dogma even while knowing and seeing the contradictions inherent in it.
“Doublethink”. And to not fully achieve “Doublethink”(by failing to engage in “Crimestop” and thereby force yourself NOT to see the contradictions) would make you guilty of “Crimethink” or “Thoughtcrime”.
Frightening. Orwell meant his book as a cautionary tale, and the left treats it as an instructional manual.
Feminism is dead in an age where there is no gender.
Womens figure skating will be a ratings bonanza then.

This gender identity issue is a win win for women. Parents wont waste time and money on their daughters sports so private tutoring and academics will be the focus. Women will excell in all levels of higher learning . Women are excelling in college today should be interesting to see the results of these movements in a few decades. It looks like the approach of a perfect storm.
Mangled genitals ...
My daughters have perfect aim is there any other sport that matters?
Yep. Nothing changes but that and what they do with hormones that make boobs.
The real issue is what happens to those who have the surgery and the hormones. There is a proven high rate of suicide.
To the point that one major hospital who did these surgeries at the beginning of this, no longer does them because of the suicide rate.
You’re referring, I think, to Johns Hopkins ... they INVENTED the trans-sexual mutilation procedure, then quit doing it for all the obvious reasons.
Correct.
It is insane.
They determined that (lack of) mental instability was the issue.
I on the other hand have had an account for about 10 years and have not really figured out what to do with it.
I follow about 5 people and only check the account once a week.
There very few people in the world that I really care what they are doing or what their opinion is on things so much that I have to know immediately what they think.
With the adds that you have to put up with I just am not that interested in Twitter. Add to that the obvious political bias of the organization to the Left, it just does seem to be worth my time.
I came to Twitter in 2009 chasing news from Iran, during the rebellion there during #IranElection phase of Twitter.
Many such events have transpired since then.
That's the unspoken and unreported TRUTH of this horrendous trend. Just saw an article on this board by a man doing the "trans" thing. He admittedly said that it won't make him happier. The hormones are already messing with his mind, but he will still have the surgery. He is already suicidal in his story, and outright says the surgery probably won't help.
These people have "gender dysphoria" and in need of competent psychiatric help, not some greedy surgeon to mutilate their genitals. These poor folks are mentally ill.
Any wonder Pres. Trump has made a recent policy change in the military so as not to include Transgender persons?
Enjoying the irony in the fact that 100 years of “feminism” has produce the elimination of the female.
Id be tickled pink if every male in the country dressed up as Tootsie.
Yep! And go to work in very pretty dresses and heels. For any coworker (either sex) that looks at them sideways or makes certain comments immediate formal HR complaint.
How are transwomen not men? What is the difference between a man and a transwoman?
Oh, and that works the other way, too.
Yep.
Now in all honesty, there are odd ones. Human hermaphrodites exist, but no case has ever been found when male and female gonads both work.

I've never had the slightest interest in getting a Twitter account until now. At this point I want to get one just to see how fast I can be banned. Anyone want to start a pool with me?
